Scott Turow is the author of ten bestselling works of fiction, including IDENTICAL, INNOCENT, PRESUMED INNOCENT, and THE BURDEN OF PROOF, and two nonfiction books, including ONE L, about his experience as a law student. His books have been translated into more than forty languages, sold more than thirty million copies worldwide, and have been adapted into movies and television projects. He has frequently contributed essays and op-ed pieces to publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.
Turow's books stood out in the legal genre which he helped create in the depth of character and the way the characters' views and choices turn the plot, not the other way around. These are characters that stick with you, long after the book is finished.
I have enjoyed each of Turow's works. He can write about the legal system as well as anybody, his use of language is unparalleled, and his plots are pretty original. Good read.
